Indonesia pushes cooperation to outpace global scam networks
As criminals move ‘in a matter of minutes’, international cooperation to combat the cyberscam should ‘be able to match their speed’, Deputy Foreign Minister Arif Havas Oegroseno told an anti-online scam conference in Cambodia.
Indonesia is urging enhanced international cooperation to stay ahead of rapidly evolving online scam networks, according to Deputy Foreign Minister Arif Havas Oegroseno. Speaking at the International Conference on Combating Online Scams (ICCOS) in Cambodia, Oegroseno stressed that swift transboundary coordination is essential to match the speed of criminals.
Indonesia pledged readiness to collaborate with organizations like Interpol in tackling the issue. The country called for a dedicated mechanism to streamline information sharing, asset recovery, and victim protection among nations. Oegroseno highlighted that sophisticated, interconnected scam networks have transformed into intricate forms of organized crime involving multiple stakeholders.
Therefore, closer cooperation between national authorities, ASEAN, UNODC, Interpol, and the international community is crucial to combat this global threat effectively.
